dial-up access needed, nation-wide coverage preferred

Looks like my company is going with a "business-only" ISP that provides
high-speed access to the office, but does not provide dial-up service.
So a few of us that need to check email while traveling are going to
need another ISP for access.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good dial-up ISP with plenty of
access numbers around the US?

Thanks,

George Marshall

Hi-

I found a great deal on the web.  It's totally free internet access and
email.  The only thing you have to do is put up with a small banner window
filled with advertisements every time you are connected to the net.  There
are access numbers in every major city across the country.  I think it's
awesome.  I have been searching for this for a long time.
What do you think?

I've been using Concentric (www.concentric.net) for nationwide dialup for 
about 15 months now.  I haven't had a single problem with them.  They've 
had local access everywhere I've been and I haven't heard a single busy 
signal.

They also have a nice shell ... they don't promote it to new users, 
but you just telnet to concentric.net and use your dial-in username & 
password.

Overall, I'd give them an A+.  I just (yesterday) got a DSL line from 
them.  So far it's working great.

For those who are interested, I'll post more about the DSL install later 
today...

Have your business hang a Courier I-modem off an NT server, get a 800
number for it, and be happy....

We are currently offering Nationwide access for $14.95 monthly with the   
ability to use ISDN or Analog.  There is no setup fee for this program    
either.  If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.      
Other good Nationwide ISP's are Mindspring, IBM, and you might even look  
at Earthlink.

Hope this helps..
